Surprise Family Day
Program Highlights
Music Club Meeting
Unique and enjoyable was the*
surprise “family day” program pre-!
sented for Olney Music Club mem-
bers Wednesday afternoon when
Mrs. A. D. Cummings was hostess.
“Harmony should always be the
policy of the family and diligence
the habit of the individual,” quoted
Mrs. W. W. Price, program direc-
tor. She continued, “Music studied
in the home brings co-operation
and teamwork. Deeper appreciation
for the better type of music en-
ables early discovery and training
of talent.”
Opening the program Mrs. Cum-
mings, violinist, and her daughter,
Rose Ann, pianist, presented a duet,
Starlight Waltz. Mrs. Cecil Holler, a
former member, and her three
daughters then staged the remain-
der of the program with Caroline

Test Time Tea Time ..
When Hardin Junior College,

time tea time, Miss Adell Hennig
was among the group who served
refreshments to students between
examinations.
Hardin Junior College’s innova-

of mental and writing toil. Each
mid-morning and mid - afternoon
during the exams, tea, lemon,
sugar, cream, graham crackers and
crax were on hand as the compli-
ments of the faculty, who voted to
underwrite the tea project.
Each service period different
groups of teachers and students j
were on the job—even the boys and j
men teachers—to tilt the teapot, do j
reception rooms chores, wash and dry i
| dishes. The home economics food [
classes were in charge of the organ- i
izing and maintaining smooth-;
running of the serving system.

“Alter Here” May Be Relegated to Past
Vogue Beauty Shop
Are you a perfect “18” or “20” or
even that cherished “12?” Probably
not. Just because of that some-
thing is going to be done about
women’s dresses.
Because women’s ready-made
clothing frequently has to be alter-
ed in one place or another, work-
ers in the Federal Bureau of Home
Economics are making measuring
studies to determine what shape
Mrs. Average Woman has these
days. (Editor’s thought: Reckon
Miss Average Woman has bowed
legs like mine? And bulges, mebbe
just a little). At present most wo-
men’s ready-made clothing and
dress patterns are designated by
bust measure alone.
Fifty-nine body measurements
are taken on each woman who co-
operates in the study. These come
from all walks of life in different
parts of the country, and many are
being measured through women’s
clubs, parent-teacher and other
organizations, and at retail stores.
Mrs. Dora R. Barnes, clothing
specialist for the A. and M. College
Extension Service, explains that
when a woman buys a dress by bust
measure she may find it tight at
the hips or loose at the waistline.
Some women complain that dress-
es “pop” at the skirt seams when
they sit down. Other points where
garments are subject to strain, if
a woman is quite active, are in the
back between the shoulder and
the armholes.
Manufacturers and retailers in the
country requested the survey after
he Bureau completed a study of
147,000 children ranging in age
from 4 to 17 years. Some of the
measurements have been requested
by manufactures of special gar-
ments such as slips, corsets and
foundation garments, and stockings.
About 45 minutes is required to
record the 59 measurements. The
study is being financed by the
Works Progress Administration.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Burris and son
were in Wichita Falls Sunday.
